Biography

Daniel Brühl, a talented individual, was born in the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain, a place where his life's journey would soon take a significant turn. His father, Hanno Brühl, a renowned German TV director, was born in the bustling metropolis of São Paulo, Brazil, in the year 1937, and would go on to play a pivotal role in Daniel's life until his passing in 2010. Daniel's mother, a dedicated teacher, was of Spanish descent, and her influence would undoubtedly shape his upbringing. As a sibling to his brother Oliver and sister Miriam, Daniel was part of a loving and close-knit family.

Following his birth, Daniel's family made the decision to relocate to the charming city of Cologne, Germany, where he would spend his formative years and attend the esteemed Dreikönigsgymnasium. Growing up in a fully multilingual household, Daniel was exposed to a rich tapestry of languages, including German, English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Catalan, which would later become an integral part of his identity.
